This open access volume focuses on the development of a P5 eHealth,
or better, a methodological resource for developing the health
technologies of the future, based on patients' personal
characteristics and needs as the fundamental guidelines for design.
It provides practical guidelines and evidence based examples on how
to design, implement, use and elevate new technologies for
healthcare to support the management of incurable, chronic
conditions. The volume further discusses the criticalities of
eHealth, why it is difficult to employ eHealth from an
organizational point of view or why patients do not always accept
the technology, and how eHealth interventions can be improved in
the future. By dealing with the state-of-the-art in eHealth
technologies, this volume is of great interest to researchers in
the field of physical and mental healthcare, psychologists,
stakeholders and policymakers as well as technology developers
working in the healthcare sector.
This book explains how telemedicine can offer solutions capable of
improving the care and survival rates of cancer patients and can
also help patients to live a normal life in spite of their
condition. Different fields of application - community, hospital
and home based - are examined, and detailed attention is paid to
the use of tele-oncology in rural/extreme rural settings and in
developing countries. The impact of new technologies and the
opportunities afforded by the social web are both discussed. The
concluding chapters consider eLearning in relation to cancer care
and assess the scope for education to improve prevention. No
medical condition can shatter people's lives as cancer does today
and the need to develop strategies to reduce the disease burden and
improve quality of life is paramount. Readers will find this new
volume in Springer's TELe Health series to be a rich source of
information on the important contribution that can be made by
telemedicine in achieving these goals.
